T19. EVOLUTION OF ANTI-NMDA RECEPTOR ENCEPHALITIS CLINICAL FEATURES IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

O 17: Childhood Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis

Anti N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDR) encephalitis has been recognized as the most frequent autoimmune encephalitis in children after acute demyelinating encephalomyelitis (ADEM).However due to the variable the variable clinical presentation, the paucity of specific finding on standard laboratory and radiological investigation remains under recognized. First discribed in 2005, most commonly...

Clinical Aspects of Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis

Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis

In recent years, the discovery of antibodies to specific neuronal antigens that then go on to cause encephalitis has gone a long way to change the investigation and management of a potential encephalitic process. These have now become known under the umbrella term of the ‘autoimmune encephalitides’. In this article we look at antiN-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis, a condition most ofte...

Heterogeneity of clinical features and corresponding antibodies in seven patients with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis

Anti-N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis is the most common type of encephalitis in the spectrum of autoimmune encephalitis defined by antibodies targeting neuronal surface antigens. In the present study, the clinical spectrum of this disease is presented using instructive cases in correlation with the anti-NMDA receptor antibody titers in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum. ...
